Creature animation is a MUST on your demo reel! (part 2)

Your animation demo reel needs to show variety in your skillset and one of the ways to stand out is to incorporate creature animation. But it doesn't have to be what you think! Creatures can be animated multiple ways, showcasing different styles, personalities and body mechanics, resulting in a reel that will make you stand out from the crowd! 

This is part 2 of the multi-part series! Here is part 1.
